Allergy Technologies Hits the Road for ‘Bed Bug Awareness Week’

AMBLER, Pa. – Allergy Technologies is joining the efforts of the Professional Pest Management Alliance to educate on bed bug prevention during ‘Bed Bug Awareness Week,’ June 4-10. The team of Joseph Latino, president of Allergy Technologies and Dr. Phil Koehler, University of Florida, Gainesville, will hit the road in Florida to talk about the importance of bed bug prevention to pest management professionals, hoteliers, nursing homes, colleges/universities and others. CEU credits will be offered for Koehler’s session.

The symposia will offer separate daily sessions for three days, June 6-8, one for pest professionals who primarily service commercial accounts and one for commercial businesses that offer sleeping areas. Each session will include presentations by Koehler, who will discuss the latest research findings on bed bugs, including the most up-to-date treatment techniques. Latino will offer unique strategies for proactive prevention of bed bugs in commercial accounts; discuss how to finally stop bed bug re-infestations and re-emergence as well as the financial and reputational benefits of prevention to the client and the service provider.

“We are always excited to be stewards of the community and launch our first intensive Bed Bug Prevention series in Florida, free-of-charge to attendees. We specifically chose this week as our signature kick-off event to improve the ‘Quality of Life’ of our customer’s clients, hotel guests, assisted living residents or anyone confronted with or at high risk for bed bugs,” Latino commented “This symposia series is in lockstep with our philanthropic mission to provide opportunities for the less fortunate and those afflicted by bed bugs in hopes we can affect a significant change in their lives.”

The Symposia will take place June 6 in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.; June 7th in Orlando, Fla.; and June 8th in Tampa, Fla. Each morning session will run from 9am – 12pm and will be offered to owners or managers of hotels, colleges, nursing homes, vacation home Managers, multi-occupant property managers or any other business or organization impacted by bed bugs. Afternoon sessions are scheduled from 3pm – 6pm and are tailored for commercial sales and pest professionals. For complete details visit http://activeguard.allergytechnologies.com/symposium.
